Local Business – How to Add Posts to your Google Business Listing

Google completed the rollout of a new feature into the Google My Business (Maps, Places, GMB) accounts. You can now add Posts to your listing to have them reach a wider audience in Search. Posts can show up in both Maps and Search results.

Steps to Add a Post to your Google My Business Listing:

Select a topic and prepare a photo at least 250×250 pixels to upload.

Login and Select the Posts category from the left side menu.

Write a short post, recommended in the 100-300 word range or add an Event with Start dates and times. Not long enough to be a blog post, but room to provide information that visitors or customers would want to know.

If you scroll down, in the preview, you can include a call-to-action button to “Sign Up”, “Reserve”, “Buy”, “Get offer”, or the default “Learn More”
